This is an image of some beds I designed and planted for R. She is an experienced gardener and keeps a great variation of perennials in her yard. Although the beds are currently planted with annuals (shown here: mustard greens, broccoli, peas and bok choy), the long term goal is to establish edible and medicinal perennials like rhubarb, comfrey, fig, chives, and herbs. I hope the brick corner in the background will provide extra heat in the cooling evenings and keep the plants going an extra week or two.
